Hello!

The "fix" of requiring a special gcc for Thunderbird (and Seamonkey) on i386 is
an abomination. If a library is reporting a missing symbol, it needs to be
linked with a library, that defines the symbol (-lnspr4 in this case). Careful
reading of ldap/sdks/c-sdk/ldap/libraries/libprldap/Makefile.in shows, that
libprldap is already being linked with NSPR-libraries on various platforms --
but not (yet?) on FreeBSD.

I don't know, why we haven't seen this problem yet with gcc (or on the 64-bit
platforms), but the proper fix is to include the necessary libraries -- not to
force the "special" compiler.

Please, apply the attached patch and let the healing begin. Something very
similar is needed for Seamonkey... Thank you. Yours,
